Odds I can run a sub 11 second 100m at 26?

Your age isn’t going to play a factor in this, but your genetics surely will.

I think you have a reasonable shot.

Here is some great advice if you really want to run under 11sec for 100m...

It's going to take a committed plan of 4-5 days/week of logical work on the track and weightroom. It sounds like you're already doing well in the weightroom, so that's a great start.

DO NOT RUN OVER 150m... period. YOU DO NOT NEED REPEAT 200's if you're looking to only run the short sprints, etc. 2x/week of repeat 100m/150m efforts at 70-80% will give you all of the repeat running volume you will need. The other 2-3 days/week will be dedicated to accel, Max V, and general recovery/mobility/flexibility.

Learn how the race is distributed, and learn effective mechanics.

This might take a couple of years, but if you're dedicated and diligent, I bet you can crack the barrier.

And yes, genetics will play a factor. I look forward to hearing about this journey! Much success to you!

Thank you for the thoughtful and well-laid-out advice! Beyond that, the ability to go sub-11 at 42 is extremely impressive! I'm looking forward to the journey ahead. Being that there is only one track club in my region, I'm hoping their coaches have sound methodologies, fingers crossed!

Also, I'm having trouble opening the article you linked, would it be possible to share it via private message? Many thanks!

Thanks for the insight! I'm hopeful!
